3.   We seek the Lord’s blessing for:  … John Schermbeck (his daughter, Shelby Heim; & all their family), at the death of his wife, Linda;  …from last Sunday night’s Lutheran Service at the USDB, we have this request: for the many new inmates at the facility, as-well-as the many new military personnel, who will be experiencing their first holiday season away from family, that they be given courage, and that those who are Jesus-followers would be able to provide a positive witness to both the inmates and the guards;  … the negotiations for the sale of the Pin Oak Acres Apartments, and all that will follow for the corporation, tenants, and our congregation.

* Genesis 28:3 – “May God almighty bless you!”

4.   We raise up the ministry of the Gospel – especially: … our November “Mission of the Month” – the Voice of the Martyrs – as they support persecuted Christians around the world (your gifts now total $190);  … the business before today’s Semi-Annual Voters Assembly, and the ministry that will result from it;  … this week’s 7th Street Feast, that people be fed both physically, spiritually and relationally;  … all our congregational ministries: the School, Kid’s Connection, Paul’s Buffet, Dinner Church, our KKLO Broadcast, the Community Garden (and more) – that the Lord would use them (and us) to bring people to know His saving grace.

* Romans 1:16 – “The gospel … is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.”

5. We pray for those in our Armed Forces: especially those who are deployed: John Crowley & Willie Williams, III (Afghanistan); Alex Feistner (Japan); Shelby Long (Iraq); & Evan Abramson (Middle East).
